a friend bet me i couldn't make zobo look like it belongs on a shelf next to coke and pepsi. i took that personally. So i built goro, a canned hibiscus drink brand. here's how i thought about it as a brand designer 🧵 First question i asked myself: why does local packaging look local? it's not the product. zobo is genuinely one of the best drinks on the planet. deep red, tart, hibiscus-forward, spiced with ginger and cloves. the packaging just never matched that. So the brief i gave myself: build a brand that could hold its own on a premium shelf anywhere. lagos. london. new york. no asterisk. The logo came first. i built around a fluid organic "g" mark, a bold blob letterform that mirrors hibiscus petals. soft, rounded, grown not manufactured. i posted two directions here and you all voted. the open airy version won and honestly the people were right. Lesson: your audience is a free focus group. use them. Colour system was flavour-first. every hex code justified by the ingredient. crimson red for original, amber for ginger & clove, butter yellow for pineapple, sage green for mint & lime. no random choices. For the illustrations i went abstract. fluid blob shapes echoing the logo mark, tonal only, one shade off the background. character without noise. that's the difference between decoration and design. For the case study visuals i used nano banana within flora ai. fridge shots. tote bags. hands clinking cans. all rendered without a single photoshoot. you can now take a packaging concept from die-line to full campaign imagery without leaving your desk. you just need to know how to prompt with intention. Ai didn't design Goro. i did. Ai just helped me show it to the world. tagline: "taste the bloom" two words. botanical. experiential. works everywhere. zobo is not a local drink. it's a world-class drink that's been waiting for a world-class identity. full visual on my instagram - @zazzygfx

@naavyd ngl cold email still works when the targeting is tight. I pull startup lists through ScraperCity, filter by company size and industry, unlimited downloads for $149/mo so I'm not sweating every lead I send to.

It’s been a while since we did one of these, but with April marking my 1-year anniversary at @framer as a Template Specialist (damn), I wanted to share the 5 most common (and more advanced!!) issues I see every day, so you can avoid at least a few rounds of rejections:
1. Make sure forms include proper error and incomplete states.
2. The play button should start the video directly, not open a pop-up or link.
3. Remove elements that aren’t related to the template. Even “buy template” buttons are not allowed.
4. Make sure the mobile navigation closes when someone clicks the logo or a navigation item.
5. Remove hover effects or cursor-hover states from elements that don’t have a link or interaction.
6. Internal links should always scroll to the top of the destination page.
7. Visibility settings are often missing on CMS subpages. Review and configure them so certain elements and layers only appear when the corresponding CMS field is filled in.
8. Use visuals that are relevant to the context of the section.
Drop in the comments if you’d like to see more behind-the-scenes tips, or if you want a more in-depth explanation of any of these.

@FKThedesigner Youa re right.... and speaking as a designer here - I started building websites for clients in Framer last year, and as a Figma user it’s refreshing to have full control over the final design that actually goes live instead of just handing off files to a developer.

You can’t see the future and potential of Framer yet.
You’ll only understand it when creators start earning not hundreds of thousands but millions from it, but by then it will be too late.
According to 2026 data, around 60% of CMS-based websites still run on WordPress.
Most of the people still using these systems are professionals who already knew the industry before 2020.
The WordPress market is still enormous. According to GPT estimates, ThemeForest alone has a monthly sales volume close to $30 million, and people are still actively producing WordPress themes.
Right now we can roughly estimate Framer’s monthly revenue. Framer pays 50% affiliate commissions and the payouts are publicly shared every month.
In March the distributed amount was $950K, which means Framer generated around $1.9M in revenue.
And yet it still hasn’t even reached the revenue levels that WordPress themes once generated.
But the future is definitely in Framer.
As people start trusting Framer, more money will come in.
If we had asked professional designers five years ago what kind of web development tool they dreamed of, their expectations would probably have been far lower than what Framer offers today.
Because no web tool built so far has provided this level of flexibility.
Even friends that I practically forced to migrate their websites to Framer were surprised by it. But they still haven’t fully adapted to how it should be used.
Think about a level of flexibility where many web designers have stopped using Figma entirely.
For the last two years I’ve only opened Figma to design mobile applications.
If we compare:
WordPress was an amazing CMS system in the 2010s, but for designers it was still a technical tool.
When Elementor arrived we were happy and enjoyed it for a while. But it was still not flexible or fast enough, and designing was still difficult.
When I first saw Webflow I really liked it. It was more flexible than WordPress but it was still technical. Even for someone who understands HTML and CSS, producing flawless work could easily take six months.
Framer however is easier than all of them. It is completely visual while still not abandoning technical capabilities. Everything you need already exists inside Framer.
There is also a group of people who say "I already build websites with AI." These people usually have no understanding of scaling.
Yes you can generate beautiful looking sites with AI. But updating them later, handling design iterations, or collaborating with marketing and SEO teams becomes a nightmare.
For example imagine converting a design to code with AI. The marketing team, the SEO team, and the developers who will continue working on the project after you will struggle with it. On top of that security, stability and maintainability.
And you are not even part of an ecosystem.
As someone who once had 15 websites go down simultaneously on the same server, security is one of the things I care about most.
Paying $15 for a tool that handles all of this for you feels incredible.
But the real point I want to highlight is this:
Framer has enormous potential and the market is still far from saturated.
It is going to grow incredibly fast and taking your place in this space right now could be very important.
The funny thing is that on some of the largest webmaster forums in the world Framer does not even have its own category yet.
Even in such an unsaturated market creators are already making incredible money. I cannot even imagine what the future will look like.
They are improving their positioning day by day and people are slowly realizing that Framer is not just for portfolios or landing pages anymore.
That is why I am investing my time in Framer and producing as much content, experience and templates as I can in this field.
You will realize the market is truly saturated only when creators start earning millions instead of hundreds of thousands.

Just a note to the future.
